This man is pictured shortly before he suffered "serious head injuries" in unexplained circumstances in Haslemere.

Police said the man was in a "critical condition" after he was found injured at the railway station on Friday (August 7).

The CCTV image shows him at 11.25am, before paramedics and police were called to help him at around midday.

Detectives have appealed for help in tracing his movements and working out how he came to be badly hurt.

The man, aged in his 50s, is around 5ft 7in tall, of medium build and with greying hair which is usually tied into a ponytail.

He was wearing a yellow and blue outdoor jacket, a cream T-shirt with coloured hoops, beige coloured trousers, blue canvas shoes and had a blue cap.

Police said he had a black Apollo mountain bike.

Following extensive enquires, police said his known movements were:

He was seen leaving Bordon Working Men's Club, in Varna Road, between 10pm and 10.45pm on Thursday August 6 on his bicycle

The next sighting was just after 6am the next morning (Friday August 7) when a member of the public called police after seeing a man on the hard shoulder of the eastbound carriageway of the M27 at junction 12. He was walking in a westerly direction. Officers picked him up and he was taken to Havant railway station at around 6.20am

At around 9.30am he got off a train at Haslemere railway station and was later seen at the same location on CCTV at 11.25am. Officers attended just before midday and a short time later an ambulance was called

The man was taken to the Royal Surrey County Hospital in Guildford and later transferred to St George's Hospital in Tooting where he remained in a critical condition, police said.

Detective Sergeant Andy Greaves said: "At this stage of the investigation we are appealing to any members of the public who may have seen this man or come into contact with him to come forward.

"We have released a CCTV image in the hope that it will jog someone's memory.

"He may have used several modes of transport, including his bicycle - any details could help fill in the gaps of his movements and assist us in establishing how he sustained his injuries."
